David Kirby, Jr. made his entrance into the world on January 14, 1942 to the parentage of the late David Kirby, Sr. and Dorothy Mae Kirby in Wayne County. He later moved to Waycross, GA where he attended the Ware County School System and graduated from Center High School in 1961. He was employed with Atlantic Coast Line for 26 years.

He was joined in holy matrimony to Kareema Cooper on December 26, 1967 and to this union one child was born. He accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior. He loved singing in the choir, gardening, fishing, and sitting on the front porch. He also loved his family and always went out of his way to see about them.

He was preceded in death by two loving sisters, Minnie Lou Kirby-Gilbert and Barbara Ann Kirby-Fulmore; and his only brother, James V. "Governor" Kirby. David knew Jesus was with him in his last hours and put his loving arms around him and called him home on Sunday, April 15, 2018.
